Two months before the Lehigh Valley Phantoms hockey season, fans now have their first chance to see some of the team's future players, as well as some of the Philadelphia Flyers' top prospects.

The Flyers announced their annual development camp will take place for six days starting Thursday and will include 29 of their top young up-and-coming players, including 12 who played for the Phantoms last year.

The practice sessions will be held at the Virtua Center Skate Zone facility in Voorhees, N.J., and all are free for fans to attend.

Among those participating are highly touted defensemen Shayne Gostisbehere and Robert Hagg, both of whom made their professional hockey debuts with the Phantoms late last season.

Gostisbehere, 21, helped lead Union College over Minnesota for a NCAA title in this year's Frozen Four. Hagg, 19, a 2013 second-round draft pick, played 50 games in the Swedish Elite League last season, and appeared for Sweden in the World Junior Championships.

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms will begin their season at the PPL Center in Allentown this September, after having played the last five seasons as the Adirondack Phantoms in Glens Falls, N.Y.

A trio of Flyers first-round draft selections who may become future Phantoms will also participate in the camp: forward Scott Laughton (2012), and defensemen Samuel Morin (2013) and Travis Sanheim (2014).

The camp's first on-ice session will be held Thursday at 2:15 p.m. The weekend schedule features two on-ice sessions each day, with morning sessions from 9 to 11:45 a.m. and afternoon sessions at varying times Friday through Sunday.
